Classical France
· v1.0
About
Wear a painting.
Classical France puts four French scenes on your watch: Paris at dusk beneath
the Eiffel Tower, a hill village in Provence, a château above the coast, and
Mont-Saint-Michel at sunset. AMOLED watches use softly painted watercolor;
transflective watches use crisp, poster-style illustrations designed for their
limited reflective palette. Turn your wrist and you get a small window onto
somewhere else, with the time and your day's numbers laid over it like ink on
paper.
THE FACE
A tall time block usually sits left of centre: the hour, then the minutes in
the scene's own accent colour, then the weekday and date beneath. On the MIP
Provence scene, the hour and minutes instead share a horizontal row across the
open lower terrace. Four stat rows run down the upper right, each one yours to
choose. Nothing shouts. The artwork keeps its depth because the text sits in
space composed for it, not under a grey box dropped on top.
CHOOSE YOUR SCENE
• Paris: dusk light, wine red
• Provence: lavender fields, deep violet
• Château: sea and slate blue
• Mont-Saint-Michel: sunset, burnt orange
Each scene brings its own accent colour and its own heart icon, so the whole
face changes character, not just the wallpaper.
FOUR STATS, TWENTY CHOICES
Set every row to whatever you actually look at:
Steps · Floors climbed · Heart rate · Battery · Calories · Stress · Body
Battery · Pulse Ox · Temperature · High/low temp · Sunrise · Sunset · Date ·
Weekday + date · Altitude · Pressure · Intensity minutes · VO2 Max (run) ·
VO2 Max (bike) · Wheelchair pushes
Options your watch cannot measure are hidden rather than offered, so you will
never pick a stat that turns out to be a dead row.
A LINE AROUND THE EDGE
Switch on the progress bar and a painted arc sweeps the rim of the scene as
your day fills up. Point it at a goal you are working toward (steps, floors
climbed, intensity minutes, wheelchair pushes) or at a level you want to keep
an eye on (battery, Body Battery, stress, Pulse Ox).
It is drawn as a tapering brushstroke in the scene's own accent colour, laid
down thin, carried at full weight and lifted off to a point at the head, so it
reads as part of the painting rather than as a fitness gauge stuck on top of
one. It starts switched off, and your face looks exactly as it did before until
you turn it on.
ALSO ADJUSTABLE
• Three text sizes, scaling the whole layout and not just the type
• 12- or 24-hour time
• Seconds beside the minutes, on or off
• The perimeter progress bar, tracking any of eight stats, or off
Change any of it on the watch itself, or from Garmin Connect Mobile. Both stay
in sync.
BUILT FOR YOUR SCREEN
Every scene is rendered at your watch's exact resolution. No stretching, no
soft edges. AMOLED and transflective watches get different source artwork.
AMOLED keeps the watercolor depth; reflective MIP screens get clean contours,
flat poster colors and no dithered grain.
On AMOLED watches, always-on mode shows a dim, gently shifting time on black,
which is easy on the battery and safe for the panel. On transflective watches
the full scene stays visible all day.
